Core Slider Mountain Climber Overview
The core slider mountain climber exercise is a great way to work your abs and obliques while also getting a good cardio workout. Using a slider can add an extra challenge to the exercise. Just be sure to keep a good form, move slowly and control to avoid injury. If you start to feel fatigued in your arms, take a break and rest for a few seconds before continuing.
How to Do
- Commence in a tall plank position with your feet on the sliders, keeping them shoulder-width apart.
- Keeping your core engaged, slide one knee at a time towards your chest, then back to the starting position.
- Repeat with the other knee.
- Continue with this movement as quick as possible while maintaining good form for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Exercise Tips
- Make sure to keep your abdominal muscles engaged throughout the entire exercise to get the most benefit from it.
- Use a slow and controlled movement when sliding your hands back and forth to avoid injuring yourself.
- If you feel fatigue in your arms, take a break and rest for a few seconds before continuing.
